cabal-macros.h is now in this gist. Using cpphs on it alone has no error messages.

cpphs --cpp libraries/base/dist-install/build/autogen/cabal_macros.h

outofmem passes when run individually.

First pass at using specs failed:

--with-hs-cpp-flag="-specs=/opt/local/etc/ghc/overridecpp.spec"

It doesn't configure the C preprocessor properly and cannot compile GHC 7.10.3 successfully.

Using --with-hs-cpp-flags appears to remove the other arguments GHC needs for GCC's preprocessor so I'm trying this:

--with-hs-cpp-flag="-specs=/opt/local/etc/ghc/overridecpp.spec -E -undef -traditional -x assembler-with-cpp"

Using this as overridecpp.spec:

*cpp:
%{posix:-D_POSIX_SOURCE} %{pthread:-D_REENTRANT}

Configuring GHC with modified hs-cpp-flags works to fix the tests:

./configure --with-hs-cpp-flags="-specs=/opt/local/etc/ghc/overridecpp.spec -E -undef -traditional -x assembler-with-cpp"

overridecpp.spec:

*cpp:
%{posix:-D_POSIX_SOURCE} %{pthread:-D_REENTRANT}

The challenge now is how to integrate this extra file and new default hs-cpp-flags cleanly into the GHC build and install. I'll spin that by the ghc-devs mailing list.
